Ingredients

Mix Ingredients:

2½ c. biscuit mix

¼ tsp. Salt

1 tsp. baking powder

½ c. sugar

½ c. dried cranberries

1 c. chopped walnuts

Bread Ingredients:

1¼ c. buttermilk

½ c. unsalted butter

1 tsp. vanilla extract

2 large eggs

Directions

Mix directions: Wash and thoroughly dry a 1-quart, wide-mouth canning jar. Layer the ingredients as level as possible in this order: biscuit mix, salt, baking powder, sugar, dried cranberries and chopped walnuts. Secure the lid and decorate the jar as desired. Be sure to attach the recipe for making the bread.

Treats directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees and generously grease a 5" x 9" loaf pan. Transfer all of the jar ingredients to a medium bowl and stir until well combined; set aside.

Combine buttermilk, butter, vanilla and eggs in a large bowl, and cream with a wooden spoon, fork or an electric mixer set on low speed.

Add the dry ingredients to the buttermilk mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until just mixed. Don't over-stir. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.

Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes, then remove the bread and cool completely on a wire rack. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
